Location
This photo was taken in snowdonia, Wales. I’m a self taught photographer that loves getting out and adventuring and this has to be my favourite spot in the U.K. so far !Time
This shot was taken around 10am. This was our second location of the day and the last. During being on location the heavens opened and we got soaked ! Well worth it thoLighting
The lighting captured here would not of been possible to get without getting out in bad weather !Equipment
This image was shot using a canon 6dmkii, 16-35mm lens at 16mm. This was on a manfrotto tripod with a shutter release cable.Inspiration
Seeing a popular photographers YouTube video on this location made this a must visit attraction.Editing
Post processing was done in photoshop. The usual contrast highlights and shadow adjustments along with dodge and burning.In my camera bag
I never leave the house without my camera bag !! I always have my canon6d, canon6dmkii, 70-200mm& 16-35mm lenses, filters, tripod, shutter release cable and most importantly spare batteries.Feedback
No matter the weather get out and enjoy it ! You will capture photos that would not be possible in clear conditions. The darker the weather the more moody and dramatic the scene will be. Wrap up warm take a umberella and shoot away !
